Question

Which of the following ordered pairs is not a solution to the inequality y less than or equal to -2x - 3?

Answer 1

(-4, 0)

(-1, 0)

(-2, -1)

(0, -4)

Answer 2

Plug in the points:
y ≤ -2x - 3

1st point: 0 ≤ -2(-4) - 3
2nd point: 0 ≤ -2(-1) - 3
3rd point: -1 ≤-2(-2) - 3
4th point: -4 ≤-2(0) - 3

Simplify each. Whichever yields a true result is the correct point.

Answer 3

Thanks but i still don't get it

Answer 4

Or rather, whichever yields a false result, is the correct point.

Answer 5

Can you just tell me the answer?

Answer 6

No, I cannot

Answer 7

Just find the point that yields a false result. That's all you have to do.
